141. Lol, you are funny. Speaking of 'jumping'. Maybe you can explain what someone else

in this thread has failed to explain, 'why did the Swedish Prosecutor refuse to do her duty when Assange was IN Sweden ASKING to speak her? Why did she REFUSE to take that step, arrest him, file her case, and end this where it should have ended?

She was a huge proponent of Prosecutors taking immediate action in cases like this, by speaking to suspects, because, she seemed to realize, the longer you wait to take those important steps, the less chance you have of filing your case. Yet, she deliberately refused to take those steps herself, instead, incredibly, telling Assange he was free to leave Sweden.

I wonder why no one who is anti-Wikileaks, including the Prosecutors own spokes peopel, are willing to explain this apparent gross negligence by a prosecutor?

Maybe YOU can explain it. And please don't bother me with what happened AFTER she failed to do her duty. Everything that happened AFTERWARDS, is a direct result of her incredible refusal to take the necessary steps to get this case to court.

That is all I am interested in, why did she do this?

Wrong! Because he already HAS BEEN ARRESTED. That was a lie. It is still a lie. sabrina 1 Sep 2012 #43

He was not arrested by Swedish authorities hack89 Sep 2012 #45

Still refusing to accept facts. He took advantage of the law, and rightly so, especially sabrina 1 Sep 2012 #53

Not making much sense here hack89 Sep 2012 #46

Sigh! Because he appealed the request for extradition sabrina 1 Sep 2012 #51

The Swedish courts said that there was valid cause to arrest Assange without an interview. hack89 Sep 2012 #54

??? What has that got to with anything. They did and he was arrested. sabrina 1 Sep 2012 #56

Not by SWEDISH authorities. hack89 Sep 2012 #58

Because she doesn't need to. She has all she needs to arrest him. hack89 Sep 2012 #68

Why has she not filed a case against Assange? You are now contradicting yourself sabrina 1 Sep 2012 #71

She has what she needs to arrest him. Once in Swedish custody he will be interviewed and indicted. hack89 Sep 2012 #74

You have avoided this question several times - lets try again hack89 Sep 2012 #55

No, it is YOU have avoided the real question here. The Swedish Prosecutor, as you now sabrina 1 Sep 2012 #57

The entire Swedish legal system has not been in charge of this case, because NO sabrina 1 Sep 2012 #84

Except for the Swedish appeals court that issued the domestic arrest warrant for rape you mean? hack89 Sep 2012 #88

But since you said that Assange would have never surrendered to Swedish authorities hack89 Sep 2012 #89

'If' 'if', the law is not based on 'what ifs'. The Swedish Prosecutor failed to file charges sabrina 1 Sep 2012 #92

Is it her fault that he jumped bail in the UK and is now a fugitive from justice? hack89 Sep 2012 #94

Why did the Swedish Prosecutor not speak to Assange while he was in Sweden for sabrina 1 Sep 2012 #100

Read the High Court's transcript - the Swedish legal witnesses explain it better than me. nt hack89 Sep 2012 #102

I read it long ago. It means nothing wrt to the non case against Assange. sabrina 1 Sep 2012 #107

You just demonstrated that if you read it you didn't understand it. hack89 Sep 2012 #109

Why did she fail so spectacularly to do her duty in this case? sabrina 1 Sep 2012 #111

Assange will find out how credible she is when that cell door shuts behind him. nt hack89 Sep 2012 #103

I don't ignore testimony from Swedish legal experts. I have read the opinions of this sabrina 1 Sep 2012 #120

Yet I predict that things will turn out exactly has I have said hack89 Sep 2012 #126

Mmmm .... sabrina 1 Sep 2012 #136

And yet in the end Sweden will arrest and indict him. hack89 Sep 2012 #78

My arguments have never been presented in court. Motions were presented, no case sabrina 1 Sep 2012 #80

All of those issues were addressed by the British High Court. It is time you read the transcript. nt hack89 Sep 2012 #83

The British High Court did NOT rule on this case. What are you talking about? sabrina 1 Sep 2012 #85

All of those issues were part of the extradition hearing hack89 Sep 2012 #87

The British Court does not have jurisdiction to rule on a Swedish case. sabrina 1 Sep 2012 #90

Every argument you have made about the interview and the prosecutor doing her job hack89 Sep 2012 #91

Lol, no, it was the anti-Wikileaks contingency who were fixated on the interview. Now sabrina 1 Sep 2012 #95

Except they were not debunked. What I said has been confirmed by Swedish legal experts hack89 Sep 2012 #97

Not only were they debunked, you are now running away from your previous sabrina 1 Sep 2012 #99

No - there is a reason Assange lost his extradition fight hack89 Sep 2012 #101

You still have not answered the question. Why was there even a need for an sabrina 1 Sep 2012 #104

Fugitives don't get to dictate to prosecutors. That is how the world really works. hack89 Sep 2012 #61

He was never a fugitive, he was in Sweden asking to speak to her, then in London sabrina 1 Sep 2012 #77

He fled Sweden the night before his interview with the prosecutor. hack89 Sep 2012 #79

He did not flee Sweden, he was told by the Prosecutor on Sept 15 that he was free to sabrina 1 Sep 2012 #82

The lawyer's memory got much better under oath hack89 Sep 2012 #86

Well, now I know I won this debate. How? sabrina 1 Sep 2012 #123

That "incompetent" prosecutor who "botched" the case will put his ass in jail hack89 Sep 2012 #127

As I said, signs someone has lost the debate, when they resort to non-facts, sabrina 1 Sep 2012 #133

If the prosecutor is breaking Swedish law then explain these facts hack89 Sep 2012 #42

Because the Court does not investigate a crime, they accept the documents presented sabrina 1 Sep 2012 #44

Except we are talking about a Swedish Appeal Court hack89 Sep 2012 #47

How long ago was that? sabrina 1 Sep 2012 #50

Yet the Swedish Appeal Court disagrees with you hack89 Sep 2012 #52

They expected her to do her job, she did not. But you still have not explained sabrina 1 Sep 2012 #113

Saying it over and over again does not make you right. hack89 Sep 2012 #118

Resorting to 'Swedish Experts' some of whom were brought there by the Prosecution sabrina 1 Sep 2012 #122

It is time to move on - it's over hack89 Sep 2012 #125

Lol, have you run out of excuses? The prosecutor ran out of options two years ago. She was out sabrina 1 Sep 2012 #138

How can you say that? It is not like Assange is a free man. hack89 Sep 2012 #154

And you still refuse to even try to answer the question as to why a Prosecutor sabrina 1 Sep 2012 #163

And I fail to see the importance of this point. hack89 Sep 2012 #164
